Don't the newer batteries have both the side mounts and top mounts already? You can use the side mounts to the vehicle and use the top mounts to jump.

I use the top mounts, just bought some little adapters, so I do want to run a side mount, its just a matter of unscrewing the adapters.

The battery I am running doesn't have side mounts anyways (1200 amp tractory battery)

I use the side posts for the starter and stereo amp. The top posts are used for the electric fans. They are connected with gold plated terminals. Each has a plastic cover. They look sharp.
